An ankle sprain means that either the medial/inside or lateral/outside ligaments have been torn from mild/moderate/severe. A severe sprain/tear can also have an associated bone fracture, making this injury even more complicated. If you have unstable ankle joint without acute injury, see orthopedist for eval and xrays, possible PT

Loosen-up, baby!: The ankle is kind of .floppy.'Like if you relaxed it and bent it in and out it would go pretty far each way,but shouldn't hurt.Speaking of hurt, you may be prone to sprains if you aren't careful.Actually, multiple sprains can lead to the instability, so it can be a viscious cycle.Can you bend your thumb back real far?If so, you're a set-up for sprains. Wear proper footwear and avoid high heels
